Regent by the Lake Hotel

Situated on the shores of Lake Windermere, the Regent Hotel is one of the Lake District's premier hotels. Just minutes from the picturesque village of Ambleside, the family-run hotel is an ideal base for exploring all that the area has to offer. Relax in the heated indoor pool or outside in the flower filled courtyard with a reviving drink and contemplate the events of the day and evening menu. Dining is a vital part at The Regent Hotel and the head chef combines fresh local produce with traditional Cumbrian influences in a modern British style. All this is complimented by the extensive wine list. There is plenty to see and do in and around the Lakes, such as The Beatrix Potter Museum, Cruises on Lake Windermere, shopping in Ambleside and nearby Bowness, and for the ramblers many pleasant walks around the Fells. All 30 bedrooms are ensuite and beautifully appointed. Some rooms have a country feel while others are contemporary in style. Whatever your tastes the rooms appeal to all. The superior rooms are situated in the courtyard or overlooking the gardens and The Sail Loft is in particular a room with its own quaintness.
